I've listened to several sound samples, and this brief excerpt is the best I can do:

Goin' to Detroit, Michigan. You got to stay here behind. [or "I got to leave you here behind."]
Gonna get me a job on the Cadillac assembly line.

I'm tired o' whoopin' an' hollerin' up and down that Mississippi road.
Tired o' whoopin' an' hollerin', pickin' this nasty cotton....

Albert King - Cadillac Assembly Line
^^
Going to Detroit Michigan,
Girl I can't take you
Hey I'm going to Detroit Michigan,
Girl, you got to stay here behind
Going to get me a job,
On the Cadillac assembly line

I'm tired of whooping and hollering
Up and down the Mississippi road
Oh I'm tired of whooping and hollering
Picking that nasty cotton

Gonna catch me a bus up North,
I won't have to keep saying, yes Sir. Boss

(Guitar Solo)

Going to Detroit Michigan,
Girl I can't take you
Hey I'm going to Detroit Michigan,
Girl, you got to stay here behind
Going to get me a job,
On the Cadillac assembly line

Well, girl if you'll be alright,
And keep your blue jeans zipped up tight
When I make my first check,
I'll put you on the Delta jet, hey, hey
I'm gonna send for you darling
Won't you come on home

(Guitar Solo)

Something I've been noticing lately is that many older songs that use 'blues' locutions like 'gonna' or 'wanna' are spelled going to or want to/a when they are on the 'net. Sure makes some of these things harder to locate.

Hi, 999 - when I do searches, I stick with words that aren't likely to be different. Contractions, words ending with "g" (e.g., 'goin'), and wanna and gonna can ruin a search.

And hey, if you take that same Google search and click on videos, you gety this (click). It's a great song, with lots of interesting versions.
